I can just see a field day for bum's stealing all these bicycles the tax payers paid for. I'm all for the environment yet wasting tax money on things that only 10% of the population of Vancouver do (bike lanes) seems abit outrageous.

Agreed, they're everywhere come summertime and the fact that there are bike routes linking all the subway/Bixi stations and marketplaces makes for an awesome way to get around the city.
